China to inject 8 trillion yen into capital of eight state-owned financial institutions amid crisis response to property sector slump
[Beijing] Eight Chinese state-owned financial institutions announced capital strengthening plans totaling up to 360 billion yuan (approximately 8.4 trillion yen) on the 6th. The government is scheduled to issue special sovereign bonds soon, making the simultaneous support for banks, insurance companies, and policy-based financial institutions unprecedented. Amid growing concerns that non-performing loans at financial institutions are swelling due to the real estate downturn, the move aims to bolster equity capital and prevent a escalation into a financial crisis. Premier Li Qiang had indicated in March at the National People’s Congress a policy to inject public funds into major state-owned banks by issuing 300 billion yuan in special sovereign bonds.
